Fibromyalgia Diet
Much has been talked about in terms of Fibromyalgia. Its
symptoms, the ‘Pills’ way of beating this disease to the pole, fibromyalgia exercises. Almost no one speaks about a
simple thing which can take care of this disorder in almost a jiffy. And that is a
Fibromyalgia diet.
Come to think of it, you can get across this disease by watching
what you eat. Ideally, the kind of food I would recommend will be
loosely based on the framework that your body will heal and it will be healthy if you have good
nutrition. Since patients suffering from fibromyalgia have more or
less stress-related symptoms with severe muscular pain, the fibromyalgia diet must be a
classical mix of proteins, Carbohydrates and fats.
The point is what to eat and what not to. To reach this point let me point out some food items which must not find a
mention in your food/drinks menu
1) Any kind of
chocolates
2) Any kind of
Carbonated beverages (Say Adios to Pepsi, Cola). Carbonated
beverages have a substance called diuretic which drains off the water content in your body and hence you must be
drinking a lot of water to intake those many carbonated drinks.
3) Say no to
Alcohol ( Bad news for the fans of JB, Teachers etc)
To ensure that you overcome any kind of fatigue, I will encourage
you to drink a lot of water a day. In this case, almost more than 8
glasses a day. I can safely say “8 + Glasses of water a day, keeps
fibromyalgia kind of away”.
We have always heard that if there are fats in a food item stay
away and especially if you are diet conscious. In cases of a
classical fibromyalgia diet, we can talk about maintaining a ratio of 3:3:4 for fats, Carbohydrates and
Proteins. The 3:3:4 ratio is good enough for a person suffering
from fibromyalgia to get their optimum weight.
With a long list of don’t eats in the line in fibromyalgia eat,
you must be wondering what to eat. The answer is
simple. Eat almost anything which is not in the list bar a few
exceptions. And believe me, if you are suffering from
fibromyalgia, this balanced fibromyalgia diet must get you back in shape.
Provided you work hard, you can beat the fibros….
There have been reports of people feeling releif of symptoms
after eating red meats while decreasing dairy and wheats. Allergies have been reported to play a huge role in
inflammatory conditions, so it would be best to avoid common allergens such as dairy, nuts, and eggs. Everyone is
different though, so make sure to keep track of the foods that seem to aggrivate your fibromyalgia symptoms and
avoid them as much as possible.
A great fibromyalgia diet tip is to change your eating patterns. Instead of eating three
meals a day, consider eating less, but more often. Try to eat a small meal every three hours. Doing this keeps your
metabolism and energy levels high.
Keep your diet balanced.If you try to control the balance of complex
carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, animal protein, vegetable protein, and healthy plant fats, then you will feel
better and your body will get stronger. For information on symptoms, please visit Fibromyalgia numbness
